Christ the Protector, Colossal statue in Encantado, Brazil
The Christ the Protector statue rises 43 meters above the ground, constructed with reinforced concrete and soapstone on a hill in Rio Grande do Sul.
The construction project began in 2019 under mayor Adroaldo Conzatti's initiative and reached completion in 2022, becoming the third tallest Jesus statue worldwide.
The statue represents the deep religious values of the local community, serving as both a pilgrimage destination and a symbol of regional identity.
Visitors can access the statue during weekends and Brazilian holidays while the surrounding tourist complex continues its development through 2023.
The structure surpasses Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer by 5 meters and features an internal elevator leading to a heart-shaped viewing point.
